[[File:Nintendo-Direct-Wii-U-02.png|right|thumb|250px|January 23rd, 2013 Nintendo Direct]]On January 23rd, 2013 during a Nintendo Direct video stream, Eiji Aonuma updated about the progress of Zelda for the Nintendo Wii U. He stated that the game still had a significant way to go, but in the meantime, announced the remake of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' for the Nintendo Wii U, set for release in Fall of 2013. Regarding Zelda Wii U, Aonuma particularly mentioned that Nintendo would be rethinking many of the conventions of Zelda, including the following.

In July 2014, Nintendo Japan's official website revealed more information about ''Zelda Wii U''. It would be possible to explore and go anywhere in the new ''Zelda'' world without boundaries and challenge new and tougher enemies as a new, mysterious Link. However, without an official English translation, a new nemesis has been translated from this information instead of new enemies.{{Ref|"New Detailed & Insightful Zelda U 'New Enemy' Translation"

''Breath of the Wild'' is the latest installment in the move towards more realistic and environmentally immersive game play in the Legend of Zelda series. While previous games have tip-toed carefully towards this from the limited ability to pick up enemy weapons in ''The Wind Waker'' to the extensive collection system, exhaustion meter, and shield degradation in ''Skyward Sword'', ''Breath of the Wild'' has taken a giant leap forward down this avenue and relies heavily on survival mechanics.

Scavenging doesn't just pertain to food that can be cooked, though. Link, like his ''Wind Waker'' counterpart, can pick up enemy weapons and use them. While The Hero of Winds was confined to using those weapons on the same screen on which they were acquired, this Link can add any weapon he picks up to his inventory and use it until it breaks, or he otherwise loses it. Tunics and armor can also be changed out for look or functionality. A quilted tunic, for instance, in a snowy area will stop Link from losing health to the cold.

Weapons aren't everything, though. The new Sheikah Slate is an important part of Link's arsenal and allows Link - once the runes have been learned in Sheikah Shrines - to do things such as create columns of ice from water, build different types of bombs, and, with the Wolf Amiibo from Twilight Princess HD, summon a companion Wolf Link to fight alongside him. Stealth mechanics and a noise indicator also make interaction with the wilder elements of the game more involved. The level of noise Link is creating can alert enemies to his presence, scare off prey, and even spook a horse Link is trying to mount or tame.

A dynamic system of horses is one new addition. Any horse that you find in the wild can be mounted and tamed and brought to one of the many stables in the game, where it can be named.  You can also summon your horses by whistling; however, they can't hear you if you are too far away.

The land of Hyrule itself is full of exploration potential. ''Breath of the Wild'' is a truly open world game hearkening back to the original ''Legend of Zelda'', getting rid of the need to play the game in any sort of order. In fact, nearly the entire story can be skipped while still completing the game. The large terrain can be traversed using horses Link has tamed, or by using warp points at Sheikah Shrines and Towers, and there are many opportunities to use the environment and runes in the Sheikah Slate to open up ways to new areas. If you can see it, you can go there, and with the largest map of any Zelda game, that is an adventure all in itself.

However, it's still a possibility that we will see motion controls return.  After all, after swinging your own sword to interact with the game, how could one go back to using a controller?

I feel like the Wii Remote has pretty much become its ideal form with the Wii Remote Plus.<br/>'''Iwata''': I see, you mean you can do just about everything you want to do with it.<br/>'''Miyamoto''': That's right.

{{Quote|With the last game, Skyward Sword, that was a game where you had motion control to use your weapons and a lot of different items, and I thought that was a lot of fun, but there were some people who weren't able to do that or didn't like it as much and stopped playing partway through it.

The E3 2014 trailer for Breath of the Wild revealed the graphics style to be advanced cel-shading, similar to the cel-shading of ''The Wind Waker'', only with more realistic and detailed textures, lighting, and models. At the time, little else was known about the graphics, as the actual cinematic shown was extremely short and only 4 native-resolution screenshots were released.
